My new Dillon XL650 is on the way, and I'll be constructing my own case feeder for it. I've gathered some parts and ordered others based on info I've gathered here and elsewhere. I hope to post pictures as I go and get input from you all.
I have a question to get the ball rolling: I'll be making plates for 9mm and .45 ACP. I see Dillon offers a Small Pistol plate and a Large Pistol plate, and my question involves the dimensions of the holes. Someday I might end up shooting .40 S&W, and I'm not sure which plate would best accommodate that. If I'm making only two plates for these three calibers, what sizes should the holes be? And how far in from the edge of the plate should I drill them so that I can end up with the right amount of the straight part that I will cut to the edge of the plate? I hope that makes sense.
Thanks!
John
